Hersbrucker

Aroma Hop

Hallertauer Hersbrucker is a traditional German aroma variety associated with the Hersbruck growing region and the broader noble-hop family. Hersbrucker is primarily valued as an aroma hop, with late and finishing additions preserving its most distinctive character.

Variety Details

Hersbrucker delivers delicate herbs, flowers and spice with menthol, soft citrus, hay and gentle woody notes. Its low alpha acids make it most useful for late-kettle additions, finishing and traditional all-kettle hopping where restrained bitterness is desired. It is a natural choice for Helles, pilsner, Kölsch, wheat beer, bock and Belgian-style ale.

Beers and Pellets were evaluated using our Sensory Plus™ Trained Panel. Beers were dry hopped in a standard 2-Row Pale Ale at 2lb/barrel for 72 hours.
